Question / Help Hotkey to turn on Mic Delay

I have recently acquired a capture device in which I want to use OBS to record/stream from. The problem is the capture device is delayed by 3 seconds. Now I am able to delay my webcam by 3 seconds to sync with the capture device in the specific scene, but the microphone I have to globally delay by 3 seconds across all scenes which causes issues when I swap back to a desktop stream.

It isn't hard to jump into settings to delay the mic during a scene change but I was thinking it would be easier to have a hotkey that I can press during a scene change to switch the delay on and off. Is there a plugin available that can do this?

Nope.

Also, it's really recommended to run webcams as global sources, not per-scene, to avoid the freeze/jump-cut when switching scenes (caused by OBS having to shut down the cam, switch scenes, then wait for the cam to turn on again).
Yeah, this is why USB capture devices are not advised.
